Sedge Island Ecotour for Girl and Boy Scouts

$50 per scout

This summer, CWF is offering two separate Sedge Island Ecotours for Girl and Boy Scouts. Scouts will spend their day at Sedge Island, Island Beach State Park, New Jersey immersed in the salt marshes of Barnegat Bay while exploring the ecosystems by kayak, living a conservation lifestyle, and learning first-hand about biological research. Scouts will leave with a better understanding of the personal choices they face in order to make a positive impact upon their environment.

Sedge Island Ecotour activies will include for both sessions, a kayak tour through the marshes, clamming, seining, and of course, learning about the fascinating history of Sedge Island and all of its wildlife inhabitants!
